Once upon a time as in ancient historyHigh upon a hill in a shroud of mysteryLoomed the abbey as we journeyed through the nightAnd wended our way towards the light

As we entered through the gatesWe heard the silent callsThere was something evilThat lurked within these wallsAs I relive my days in this godforsaken placeAll that appears before me now...is her face

Another man died today like the ones beforeWith blackened tongue and blackened fingerWithin the labyrinth behind the bolted doorLies the answer to our mystery

Heed the book that kills - it holds an evil powerThose who turn the leaves wither like a flowerWell guarded by the seer inside the abbey towerFor laughter kills the fear within the abbey of synn

We found the secret path that led us here to youGive us the deadly book of laughterToo many men have died for a teaching of the fewOpen up your heart reveal the mystery

Heed the book that kills - it holds an evil powerThose who turn the leaves wither like a flowerWell guarded by the seer inside the abbey towerFor laughter kills the fear within the abbey of synn

And then she came to me like a creature from the dawnEnchanting as the moon - radiant as the sunShe took the boy in me and gave me back the manWith a force I could not withstand

The seer burned the abbey down and perished in the fireWe couldn't save the book the flames were rising higherSo many died in vain for an ancient disciplineLaughter kills the fear within the abbey of synn

Heed the book that kills - it holds an evil powerThose who turn the leaves wither like a flowerWell guarded by the seer inside the abbey towerFor laughter kills the fear within the abbey of synn
